MINISTRY EXPERIENCE.BIBLICAL ESSENTIALS.LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES.

What if you could accelerate your ministry experience with a focused, intentional season of hands-on ministry right here in Tulsa, OK at Church on the Move?

NEXT is a one-year internship program created for that very purpose. We want to provide you with practical ministry experience, teach you essential biblical principles, and equip you with invaluable leadership opportunities.

You won’t be sitting in a classroom for your NEXT internship! You’ll get firsthand experience working right alongside our team and access to seasoned ministry leaders. You won’t be here to just stand in the shadows and watch. After a year you’ll be amazed at how much you accomplished and the experience you gained. The training you’ll receive will be well worth the investment of your time, energy, and passion.

Campus Team

Enjoy doing a variety of tasks? Interested to see what it takes to make weekend services happen at a campus? Join a Campus Team and help them set the stage to introduce people to the real Jesus! You will assist campus staff in a variety of areas such as guest experience, care, administration, events, and volunteers. Help plan and coordinate campus and volunteer tasks and events, work alongside volunteers, assess and improve current processes, and assist with special projects while helping other teams accomplish their goals and make the weekend experience a great one for all of our guests!

Discipleship

The Discipleship team meets people where they are and helps them take one step closer to God. We provide the open doors and experiences that help people become free from their past and live the life of purpose that God intends them to live through ministries like Love Your Neighbor Missions & Outreach, Small Groups, The Next Move, Go Teams, Baptism, Prayer, and Care.

This experience will challenge you to grow in your abilities to strategize, develop systems, resource and learn from team leads, and coordinate with multiple teams to achieve goals. We're looking for driven, creative thinkers who can keep a great attitude and handle a variety of responsibilities with excellence and passion.

DESIGN

If you pay attention to the world around you, then you know the power behind dynamic visual design. As a Design intern you will have an opportunity to take your creative talent to the next level and solve problems that matter. You’ll work alongside seasoned professionals, learning your craft while growing in your faith and leadership skills. Your talents and skills will be stretched each week, and your “wins” will be evident in the life change you’ll see every weekend. You’ll get to touch everything from print work, to interactive pieces and environmental design…the opportunities are everywhere.

FAMILY MINISTRIES

In the Family Ministries department of Church on the Move, we embrace, guide, engage, affirm, and mobilize kids from newborn to high school. As a part of the team, our goal is to disciple, develop, and disrupt you. We will disciple you by helping you become the spiritual leader God has called you to be and to grow in your walk with Him. We will develop you to become an effective leader by stretching your creative skills and helping you to become a creative problem-solver and a good steward of your time and resources. We will disrupt your preconceived ideas of what an internship is about and challenge you to live outside of your comfort zone.

Some of the areas of this internship include pastoral training, the creative process (video, graphic design, writing, etc.), production, worship, administration, and leading volunteers.

FILM

As a Film Team intern, you will work directly alongside our team of visual storytellers. Each week, you’ll be part of creating stories, promos, and thematic videos used in weekend services and on social media. Develop your skills in creative development, pre-production, cinematography, lighting, editing, and motion graphics, while getting to experience life in full-time ministry. This is not just about skills training. You will be developed in leadership and creativity, while growing in your walk with God.

WEB DEVELOPMENT

PHP? HTML5? JavaScript? Are we speaking your language? We’re looking for web developers that want to solve technical problems with creative code. As a Web Development intern you’ll work on websites and applications that touch every aspect of the ministry, from weekend services to global outreach. Our code impacts lives for Christ and whether you want to learn code artistry (frontend development) or code architecture (backend development), we have opportunities for both! While having a good understanding of code is helpful, we’re looking for interns that are willing to learn. You'll work side by side with our experienced developers to help you grow in your skills, leadership, and faith.

Production

You'll work alongside seasoned production professionals to help hone your craft while actually doing it – not just talking about it. You'll discover what it really takes to operate and maintain multiple full-service venues across several campuses. Additionally, you'll learn how ingenuity, organization, and efficiency can work hand-in-hand with the creative process to bring live events to life. Prepare to learn, grow, and lead as you find out what it means to truly be a part of a team all working towards the same end result.

WORSHIP

Is music your thing? If so, we may have a spot for you. You’ll have the opportunity to play, sing, lead, create, and most importantly, learn what it takes to create an environment that helps introduce people to the real Jesus.

We encourage anyone from ages 18–25 to apply for NEXT and there are no educational requirements.
